    Did you guys end up completing the Crucifix? If not, are you still working it long-term or has it kind of faded into the "future project" graveyard? It's an absolutely legendary beast crack and I'm cheering for an ascent, but because it's so obscure and it was/is really just you guys working it, I've had loads of trouble finding information about it.
    Awesome collaboration! I'm glad to see another of the world's strongest in the cellar learning the joys of crack. It's crazy how fast these guys progress! I remember looking at the easiest crack in my gym and thinking "how in the world can someone climb that? And it's only rated 5.9!" and here I am, many months after finding your videos and two weeks after buying Pete's book and practicing my jamming, barely able to make it up the half thin hands(because I have beefy hands), half perfect hands 5.9 vertical (both ways) splitter at my gym. The speed they pick it up at is incredible! Great watch, looking forward (as always) to seeing more from you guys.

      Tomoa Narasaki has more than enough strength for a 9b. Janja Garnbret definitely has the potential to tick one too, she just hasn't tried projecting one for very long. Jimmy Webb could've when he was a bit younger, not sure about if he could now. There are probably more.

    • @Finnspin_unicycles
      @Finnspin_unicycles Před rokem +1

      As a casual observer, I find the (9b+ /9c) routes equally impressive and silly. Impressive, because it's obviously super hard and requires a lot of skill. Silly, because it's very hard to repeat them for most people, purely for logistical (/financial) reasons.

    I was very interested to hear the discussion about tall vs short. I'm 6'6" (198 cm) and I've been climbing one time so far. I definitely felt like I almost had an unfair advantage, at least when it came to topping out. I could reach almost halfway up the boulder wall. But even though I'm skinny, I'm deceptively heavy. I weigh 220 pounds (99 kg) and I got pumped really hard really fast. I'll definitely need to step up my arm exercises before I go again.
